Connecticut Children’s Opens $326 Million Clinical Tower, Doubling Hartford Campus

The new tower centers advanced in‑utero and neonatal surgery to expand high‑acuity care for Connecticut families.

Overview

  • The eight-story, 195,000-square-foot building adds a fetal care center with six private rooms and an operating suite built for up to 40 clinicians.
  • Two dedicated floors create 50 private NICU rooms with family amenities, centralizing high-acuity newborn care on the Hartford campus.
  • The first patients have begun moving into the new NICU and fetal care spaces as services shift from Hartford Hospital.
  • A skywalk connects to a $72 million, 900-space garage set to open Jan. 12, the same day Shannon Sullivan succeeds retiring CEO Jim Shmerling.
  • A recent $50 million gift from Tom Golisano brings the hospital into the Golisano Children’s Alliance, while the project advanced under agreements with Frog Hollow to relocate historic buildings, preserve housing and plant trees.
